Nomad Nutrition

Went on a backpacking trip near Blowdown pass and decided to give Nomad Red Lentil meal a go. Honestly for the first time ever I ate a backpacking meal that tasted absolutely delicious. Then I had their Kathumandu meal the next evening and it was just as yummy. No hesitation to take their meals on all my future trips.

Quite simply the best - super nutritious with high quality ingredients and delicious taste. Although the product(s) really speak for itself, I highly recommend them all. From their website experience (high education on products and transparency), to their packaging/branding and story telling, this company is creating an innovative and much needed way of understanding and experiencing food.

I've been out on several trips and I bring half home-dehydrated meals and half manufactured" meals. I've been trying to avoid the typical big players and enjoy finding the smaller

I tried sharing my experience with them, with no response or concern (I contacted them via email). Their meals have so much potential, but they do not cook well, 8-12 minutes is more like 25 minutes and even then, many pieces of food remained dehydrated. Shopping national/local is not worth it if the product is simply inferior.P.S. compared to my comrades on our Arctic ski expedition, I was at a severe calorie deficit, as their meals contained as much a 4 to 5 times the calories.If you don't believe me. Buy one and try it out, try eating hard chewy beans after 20 minutes. Maybe this stuff is only designed for warm weather conditions.

I received the shepherds pie as a gift a number of years ago, not really a fan of all vegetable diets, but this was surprisingly good. I still like my eggs and omnivore dehydrated meals, but this is now definitely in the rotation.

Just tried nomad for the first time on a backpacking trip and I was so disappointed. Based on other reviews I gave it more time to rehydrate than the instructed time. I left my Shepherds Pie for 30 minutes and it was still completely hard and crunchy. I really wanted to love this product but I couldn’t even finish the meal it was so bad :(

It passes the taste test for sure. I tested cooking it with just hot tap water and it didn't quite cook through but when using boiling water it cooks up perfectly. The small pouches are not quite enough for a full meal, so it's better to get the large pouch if you are hungry. Price is on the high side but the quality is there and it's super convenient with no dishes to clean up.

I can't imagine anyone who works here has made or tasted their meals. I just spent a week living off of this and other brands and these were by far a disappointment every time. The instructions are useless; you could boil these meals for an hour and half the ingredients would never rehydrate. The corn, peas and other small chunks stick to your molars and need to be picked off and spit out. There is no way on earth a ladle full of broth with a few potato cubes is 400 calories. I'm calling their bluff on that one. Didn't like one of their meals and they are at least twice the price for half the size of backpackers pantry. Vegans don't just need camping food, they need good camping food.

The Kathmandu Curry is the absolute best I might be mildly obsessed. I think I've tried most if not all of their meals but I can't even remember what the rest are like, I know there was a few I wasn't a fan of but still 5 stars just for how much I love the Kathmandu Curry, in order it in bulk, it's pretty much all I eat for camping dinners.I also appreciate that the meals are so nutrient dense because then I don't need to be concerned with what I'm eating the rest of the day which is mostly just random snacks while hiking

Best food for hiking ever! Delicious, nutritious and light to pack on a long hiking trip. I doubt you can get better food for hiking without making it yourself. Way to go NOMAD -- great BC company and great service.
